THE proper way to reduce the sur
.lus ia to get it back into the nanas o
the people.
Ou1o election OBJ November Sth. IL
will then be decided as to whether
owners of real estate will pay more
taxes.

.nthsr Of John Halifax Gentie-
man, died last week at her home ID
England.
EvERY dollar taken from the pock-
ats of the people above what is neces'
sary to meet the expenses of the Gov
ernmsnt, is nothing less than ROBBERY.
FORAKER wants farmers taxes in
creased from 25 to rs per cent, which
in approaching the Henry George aoe'
trine of taking mans farm away
from him entirely.
GoyERNoR FORAKER wants the tax
taken off whisky and tobacco. he,
however, opposes any reduction OF
the tax on sugar, iron, lumber, CLOTH
ing, leather, glass, tin and queensware.
yorE for Foraker if you want the
taxes ON your farm increased. Ine
issue is before YOU, farmers OF onio,
for your decision. Foraker has given
HIS views, and it remains for you TO
give YOURS.
Hon. EMIL KIEsEwETER mas proved
one Of the very best State Auditors
Ohio has ever had. If the signs OF
the times count for anything, MIR.
Kiesewstter will be reelected by an
overwhelming majority.
THE Democrats Of Ohio were never
more deeply in earnest or cordially
united than they are at the present
time. All that is wanted to secure
complete victory Is to get cut full
Democratic vote.
WHEN the farmers are selling their
wheat for seventy five cents bushei,
they should not neglect to be duly
thankful for the Republican system of
tariff which taxes taem an average OF
nearly fifty per cent. upon every arti-
Gle they consume that ia net raised on
the farm.
TIE Mansfield Shield and Banner
asks: "Did Grant or Sherman or
Sheridan or Garfield or even Hayes
ever boast before public meeting OF
the nunnber of battles they had Partie
ipated in? It is such jawsmith war
1iors On Foraker and Tuttle who brag
of their great valor. The true soldier
liz as modest as he is brave.n
GENERAL McCLURG, of Illinois, is
q Republican, but he is constrained to
say: "If President Cleveland should
conduct the affairs of the nation to the
close of his term as he has since his
inauguration, no man can get my vote
away from him. Mr.. Cleveland is not
perfect, but I think he ia the best Pres.
ident we have had since Abraham
Lincoln"
THE red.headed girl and white
horse craze" has broken out in many
places again. 1t all comes from the
saying that whenever you see red
headed woman or girl, you are sure to
ace q white horse somewhere near.
People who read this set themselves to
observing; and it is astonishing at tn.
frequency with which the coincidence
occurs.
THE appropriations of the last K. :
publican Legislature amounted to s3,
O93, ,454. 73, while the estimated revenue
for the year will be only $2,776, 500, a
deficiency of $316, 1884. Do the people
want any other or further evidence of
Foraker's unfitness and the unfitness
OF the Republicans to run finances OF
Ohio?
BILL GIBSON, the defaulter, enlight,
ened the Republicans of East Liver
pool last Tuesday evening. Ii Bill
would step forward and pay into the
State Treasury that little matter of
$500, 600 which he stole about 1860, II
would ease up the deficiency. and Fo
raker would not have to increase the
farmers tax. Bills record is that OF
n thief on a large scale.-Ohio Patriot.
A RICHMOND, VA, dispatch of the
18th inst. says: "A delegation from
John A. Andrews Post, g. A. R., OF
Boston, is in this city. and Tuesday
night presented each of the ten OH
GERS of Robert e. Lee camp, Confedt-
rate veterans, with handsome sword
bearing the inscription, From John
A. Andrews Post, No. Is, G. A. r to
Robert e. Lee Confederate Veterans :"
THE Republicans are advertising
Bill Gibson as the "Silver-tongued
Orator.n This is done, as we natural
Nv suppose, by way of a gentle remin
der of Williams $500, 900 embezzie-
ment of State funds some thirty years
ago. A .silver-tongue," we grant, is
n very nice thing to have In ones
mouth, provided one comes by it hon,
